Chapter 259 Asian Sister
After Hongli Investment acquires Guoshang Bank, it will actively pursue those debts and strive to minimize bad debts. It will also have to vigorously attract deposits, reshape its image, and improve services and hardware facilities.
After reading the newspaper for a while, Liu Zhicheng was interrupted by a knock on the door and put the newspaper aside.

You can only read newspapers in your free time, and you should focus on your work.

"Boss, the preliminary plan for the Tsuen Wan Plaza project is ready. I'll give it to you for review!"

Hao Qingwen carried a heavy set of drawings and plans in his hands and placed them on Liu Zhicheng's desk.

Liu Zhicheng stood up, placed the information on his wide desk, and said with a smile: "There are so many, I have to work overtime in the next two or three days!"

Hao Qingwen was secretly amazed. It would take him a week to read so much information, but his boss only needed two days.

He didn't think he read more carefully than his boss, because his boss was very efficient and read almost everything carefully.

"Thank you boss!"

"What's the point of working so hard? I'm just being careless and just taking a quick look. Mainly, I feel reassured by the management team like you. Now I'll just look at the blueprints of these large projects, which saves me a lot of trouble!"

"The boss pays us a high salary, so we should do our best!"

After Hao Qingwen left, Liu Zhicheng flipped through the plan for Tsuen Wan Plaza. Just looking at the renderings was enough to make people excited.

6000 residential units totaling 480 million square feet of floor space;
Two large shopping malls and two small shopping malls (inside the community), totaling 120 million square feet of shopping mall space;
Two commercial complexes (including hotels and office buildings) with a total office space of 180 million square feet.

This project is composed of two "large housing estates" - Ocean Pride and Tsuen Wan City Place, two large shopping malls - Citywalk and Tsuen Wan Plaza, two super skyscrapers - 88 floors and 42 floors, and two small shopping malls in the community.

The total investment is estimated to be 100 billion Hong Kong dollars!
At present, the construction of Tsuen Wan New World has been underway for more than a year and is expected to open for business in mid-1992.

Citywalk is a large four-storey building with a total rental area of ​​58 square feet. The land of Citywalk and Ocean Pride is reclaimed land from the old Tsuen Wan Pier.

So it is adjacent to the sea, the scenery is very beautiful, and there are yacht landing docks and ferry landing docks.

Except for Tsuen Wan New Town, the construction of other projects will be divided into five years, and it is estimated that all of them will take ninety-seven years to be completed.

In the conference room of ATV, Liu Zhicheng was discussing a TV series on the theme of "Hong Kong culture" with a group of female screenwriters and directors.

The script of "Autumn in My Heart" has been released, and Liu Zhicheng was quite satisfied after reading it. He just used this script as a "model" to continue discussing this type of subject matter with these people.

"Hong Kong culture" is a systematic layout. Liu Zhicheng has involved almost every aspect through Asia Television and Crocodile Group.

As for plastic surgery, in fact, in the past, there was "Korean Wave Culture" first, and then there was "developed plastic surgery industry". What's more, Hong Kong already has a well-developed plastic surgery industry.

"Hong Kong-style TV series are full of plot twists and melodramas. The male and female protagonists who look exactly the same become siblings and lovers, and lovers become siblings. The second and third female protagonists are always bad women. The roles of the male and female protagonists, especially the female protagonist, are prominent, and the love is more tragic."

As Liu Zhicheng spoke, the female screenwriters took notes. He not only gave the direction but also directly talked about the cases, which amazed these female screenwriters/directors.

Of course, the main director is not necessarily a woman, but there must be a female assistant director. Similarly, the screenwriter is not necessarily a woman, but basically they are female screenwriters.

When the discussion was almost over, a female editor said, "Boss, you said that Leon Lai meets the criteria of a 'Hong Kong idol' and is the most suitable actor to play the male lead in Autumn in My Heart. So, who do you like best as the female lead? Do you have a reference?"

Everyone looked at Liu Zhicheng because they believed in their boss's vision.

The role of the heroine is actually quite difficult to define. Some female stars in Hong Kong either go for the sexy route or the pure and innocent route.

Pure and innocent girls may not be suitable for being "Hong Kong idols", not to mention that pure and innocent girls in Hong Kong tend to end up shooting pornographic films.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhicheng said, "I'll recommend someone for the female lead later! In fact, Hong Kong idols mostly rely on makeup and clothing to determine a style. If we really want to talk about an actress who is representative of Hong Kong idols, I think Wang Zuxian is more suitable."

"It's not easy to find a beauty like Wang Zuxian!" the female editor echoed.

Liu Zhicheng smiled and didn't care about such words.

This team of female editors and directors of ATV was painstakingly prepared by Lin Zuhui. It was equivalent to the first batch of "Hong Kong TV series" screenwriter training class, and of course he was the training instructor.

Finally, Liu Zhicheng said: "When studying 'Hong Kong dramas', don't learn too much Qiong Yao-style love, but be more innovative.

In short, you should imagine yourself as a girl who likes fairy-tale love and open your mind. "

This group of female screenwriters are all between 20 and 40 years old. I believe their comprehension ability will not be bad, not to mention that Liu Zhicheng has already pointed out the direction.

It is one thing that he plagiarized Korean dramas, but after all, it was just an outline and these people had to fill in the details.

However, he felt that this path seemed very feasible. Even "Dae Jang Geum" could be plagiarized, isn't it just changing the background to ancient China?

He has watched and remembered only about ten Korean dramas, which is enough to bring the entire Hong Kong TV drama into a new field.

Of course, not all TV dramas will be based on the "Hong Kong Wave (Korean Wave)" theme. Liu Zhicheng will also arrange some Jin Yong series in the next few years.

In addition, there is the "family fashion drama" that has become popular on ATV in the past two years. This seems to be a little bit similar to Korean dramas and can be regarded as the originator of Korean Wave.

After all, the Korean Wave culture of the past was nothing more than a culture copied from Hong Kong, Japan, Europe and the United States, but they just developed it more vigorously.

In this life, the "Hong Kong Culture" initiated by Liu Zhicheng will deepen its market presence in RB, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, South Korea, and the mainland.

ATV's overseas promotion department has already been established. Even if we take a step back, the entertainment market in Taiwan and Southeast Asia alone is enough to satisfy ATV.

What's more, Japanese and Korean people have always liked Hong Kong stars, and in this era, everyone is constantly communicating with them.

The first person to launch the "Hong Kong Culture" will be Lee Jung-hyun. She has the ability, or her team has the ability.

After the meeting, Liu Zhicheng went to his office.

In the past six months or so, he has been working longer and longer hours at ATV, and now spends one to one and a half days a week focusing on the layout and training of "Hong Kong culture."

Sitting in his office, Liu Zhicheng was thinking about filming a Jin Yong-themed work.

The actors for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had to go to Louis Koo and Carman Li, both of whom are set to make their debuts in the next one or two years. Louis Koo made his debut by shooting a singer's MV, and Carman Li seemed to have starred in a movie last year.

The lead actor of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Felix Wong, is still an actor of ATV. In theory, he will not go to TVB again.

No matter how busy Liu Zhicheng is, he still pays attention to these talented actors.

It can be said that he has been paying attention to the development of more than 30 celebrities.

What's more, ATV is now big and the salary is higher than TVB, so few people are going to TVB.

Soon, ATV will have a layout across Asia, and those stars will not leave ATV.

"Dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.

"Come in"

The assistant brought Weng Hong in, which surprised Liu Zhicheng a little.

"Boss, Miss Weng Hong wants to see you for something!" Liu Zhicheng nodded and motioned Weng Hong to sit down.

The assistant made a cup of tea and then left. She deliberately left the office door open, which was Liu Zhicheng's usual style.

He didn't want any scandal to spread in ATV. Even if there was a scandal between him and someone from ATV, the location could not be ATV.

It is normal to have some scandals with female artists in the company, and Uncle Shao Liu did the same thing back then.

When the Lin Pak-yan family was in charge of ATV in his previous life, Peter Lam was also rumored to have affairs with Yung Hung and Joey Meng.

The two Asian sisters who won the pageant in 1989 even had a quarrel. Of course, these are just rumors and there is no clear evidence.

But as far as the Hong Kong media is concerned, their favorite thing is to fabricate this kind of scandal to attract the attention of the public.

Liu Zhicheng is also a victim. No matter how powerful he is, he would not lower himself to deal with those tabloids and magazines. The key is that what others said was very obscure.

Maybe, in order to make money, others are eager for you to deal with them, and then fabricate news about the victim. After all, there are still people who value money over life.

When Weng Hong saw the office door wide open, she felt a little embarrassed. She thought her boss was on guard against her.

"Ms. Weng, do you need any help?" Liu Zhicheng said kindly.

His looks plus his style make him more attractive to people of all ages.

There were so many beautiful women who offered themselves for his bed that Liu Zhicheng could no longer remember their number.

Hearing this, Weng Hong raised her head and chest, with a seductive look in her eyes.

"Boss, my classmate Joey Meng's Cello and .38 is a big hit recently. I heard from the company that they have arranged six dramas for her."

After saying this, Weng Hong felt a little aggrieved. She was obviously the champion, but she didn't expect that it was Gigi Wong, the runner-up, who became so famous first.

Liu Zhicheng had seen too many such intrigues and was not surprised.

As the head of the family, he would not be disgusted by Weng Hong's behavior. When actors are competing for resources, this behavior is nothing!

He smiled and said, "You are also a popular actress of ATV. Don't be anxious. ATV is developing rapidly now. The Hong Kong market can only be regarded as a small market. When the overseas market is developed in the future, you are still worried about insufficient resources!"

As the head of a family, coaxing these artists is like coaxing children. You cannot blindly "use your power to suppress them", otherwise it will provoke resistance from others.

He is not a gang, so he cannot point a gun at Hong Kong stars while filming.

Weng Hong immediately showed a pitiful expression, as if she was ready to be picked, and then said: "Boss, can you help me analyze it? I always feel that I am restricted to the position of 'pure and innocent girl', so it is difficult for me to stand out!"

The signs are emerging!
A Hong Kong beauty pageant has a mistress, and an Asian beauty pageant has a porn star. This is not a good phenomenon.

But in this life, ATV has no such statement, at least it is impossible for Amy Yip to film it!

Yip Yu-ching was played by Liu Zhicheng, who gave her a thousand-square-foot house and also gave her some resources.
Liu Zhicheng even emphasized that they dare not shoot that kind of movie anymore.

Liu Zhicheng said: "Later, ATV will shoot a Jin Yong film, "Swordsman", and will assign you a female lead. The male lead will be Lu Songxian from the recent "Cello and .38". This is a chance for you, so practice your acting skills well!"
If you want to make a transition, we at ATV support you. ATV has greatly increased its production of dramas, so you definitely still have a chance. Don’t be too impatient, your acting skills are the key!”

The version of "Swordsman" starring Louis Koo is indeed quite good, but the highlights are all on Louis Koo. It would be fine to replace the female leads.

What's more, we can't go to TVB to poach actresses who have no future.

Weng Hong immediately smiled and secretly sighed that it was a good decision for her to muster up the courage to go find the boss!

She suddenly felt a little impulsive, then looked outside the door warily, then turned back and said carefully: "Boss, when are you free, can I treat you to a meal?"

Liu Zhicheng was used to it; he often encountered such displays of affection from female artists.

In the past he refused, but today he said honestly: "Would you like to go on my yacht?"

What he meant was that he believed Weng Hong was not a fool.

"I'll go!" Weng Hong hesitated for only three seconds before agreeing.

She understood what Liu Zhicheng meant, and she had no aversion to Liu Zhicheng, so she agreed honestly.

"Okay then. I'll send a female bodyguard, A Zi, to pick you up later. If you want to be a star, you must keep it a secret."

"Okay, boss. Actually, you are not romantic at all!" Weng Hong stood up, left a word, and left quickly, fearing that Liu Zhicheng would scold her.

Liu Zhicheng touched his nose and said to himself: "It's just a game, we both get what we want, why do we need romance!"

However, having said that, Liu Zhicheng still planned to have his men decorate the yacht to add some romantic elements.

After a while, Liu Zhicheng called the head of the artist management department and the head of the drama department and explained something to them.

"I heard that after Wan Qiwen became famous, you arranged a lot of dramas for her?"

“Well, the company does arrange a lot of work!”

Liu Zhicheng immediately frowned and said, "Don't do this. We have actresses in ATV. We need to balance our resources.

Besides, you guys arranged so many scenes, Wan Qiwen might not be able to handle it, and others might not be able to handle it physically."

Li Zhuanglie immediately said: "Okay, we will readjust immediately!"

Liu Zhicheng was still not satisfied and continued, "It's not just about adjusting Wan Qiwen's affairs, but also about changing the style of the entire ATV.

Train more new actors. That’s why TVB was so powerful in the past. Once they poached its artists, they would immediately have new artists to replace them.

So, you should organize a meeting and discuss what I said seriously. Over-consumption of popular actors, too much resource allocation, and not paying attention to the training of new actors are all not acceptable!"

It is best to let a hundred flowers bloom, so that if an actor is poached in the future, it will not affect the overall situation!

The two of them nodded quickly. In ATV, Liu Zhicheng was the one who truly had the final say. His prestige had long surpassed that of TVB's Uncle Shaw, and his achievements naturally surpassed Uncle Shaw as well.

"Okay, we will definitely organize the management to carry out the specific implementation of this work!"

"Well, go get busy!"

After the two left, Liu Zhicheng smiled and shook his head. In fact, it was not a big deal, but he needed to confirm his prestige through these matters.

In addition, there is nothing wrong with this strategy itself and it should be promoted.
